The third round was more evenly matched, with Cerrone getting in a few solid punches, but Edwards looked to have more speed in the fourth, and wasn’t falling for any of the wily veteran’s tricks. His frequent counter attacks were causing Cerrone all kinds of problems.

The fighters looked fatigued in the fifth, which was shorter on action than the preceding rounds, and the fight ended after both men launched last-ditch attempts to inflict some hurt on the other, which largely failed.

After the bell rang, the judged unanimously gave the fight to Edwards, which seemed like a fair result.
